Find Hotels by SYHA Hostelling Scotland in Islay Island

"This was the best stay of my vacation. I arrived earlier than I had announced, though there were no staff present at that time walking around the house was an experience. Though much of the house is under renovation it was gorgeous. Staff quickly checked me in and the room was absolutely spectacular, I felt like I was in a room for a prince. I very much look forward to coming to islay again and seeing the fully renovated manor and seeing if back up to its former glory. "

"A lovely stay in a perfect cottage. Will be booking again"

"Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff, and very pleasant fellow guests!"

"Excellent property to consider when visiting Islay. Especially if you want to also get a round of golf in on Links style course along with all the whisky tours."

"Cute hotel with great service and nice rooms in a cute village. Not far from Bruichladdich which was convenient as we were cycling."

"What a gem of a bungalow in beautiful Islay! The house was spotless. We are a group of two families (6 children, 10 total) traveling around Islay. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The best part was the VIEW! Located right on the water, you cross the street and are on the beach. The kids were able to cross the street in the evenings to play. We walked to two of our restaurants, which was a short 2 mile walk along the loch into Port Charlotte. The house is about 5 houses down from Bruichladdich Distillery! We frequented the mini-mart, which was 3 houses down and had a lovely owner who made hot sandwiches and coffee as well. We had the best time in Islay- so many things to do and see. We hope to be back, and we would be lucky to get to stay in this beautiful home!! Truly an unforgettable experience!!Photo 1 on the beach in front of the bungalowPhoto 2 the pathway to Port CharlottePhoto 3 highland cow on our path, walking to Port Charlotte. "

"This dog-friendly cottage was overlooking the harbour and little beach.There were lovely wee touches that demomstrated that the owners cared about those staying there. One example was the detachable support handle in the bathroom for anyone requiring such support in the shower room/toilet.The cottage was immaculate and so comfortable and cosy.The village of Portnahaven was so beautiful and the people so amazingly friendly.We absolutely loved our stay and hope some day to return.We have stayed in many beautiful cottages and this one is definitely one of the best.We absolutely adored it."

"The staff are angels on earth! Karl helped me fix a ferry/bus schedule problem and saved me from being stranded across the island in the dark. Lorna saved me from another transportation oversight I made, connecting me with a taxi driver that kept me on schedule. Without them my whole trip to Islay would have been a disaster, but instead, it was wonderful! Oh, and the hostel is lovely, clean, informative, and peaceful. "
